No. The first people that came to Ireland were not Celts. They came from the north of Spain. Other peoples came to Ireland too, that make what is now the Irish people, including Vikings and Normans. So, like any country in the world, the people in Ireland have various origins.

Where do the Irish come from?

Many people say different things, some say from Iberia (northern Spain) as Gaels believed they were descendants of Milesians, sons of Míl Espáine. Others believe that the Irish descend from a sunken island off the west coast of Ireland, called Tír na nÓg or goes by many names like Hy Brasil. I tend to believe the second one. Recent DNA studies tend to support the first one, however.
